How to move pictures to new computer

Hi!
What a great programm this XnViewMp! I love it very much to organise and categorise my photos. But these days I bought a new computer and copied everything to the new machine on which I also downloaded XnViewMp again. As as I see now, it does not work this way and I did not think about it before, so all my photos came over without categories..

But since everything is still on my old computer too, nothing is lost yet. What is the right way to move pictures to a new machine without loosing the categories? I have saved them not only on my hard disk, but in the cloud too (Stack by Transip). Is it possible to move Pictures somehow together with XnViewMp ?

I just copied the foto's. But I still have my old computer so I could redo the wholw thing I gues.
But I have no Idea about how to copi the .db files. Where can I find a manual that explains how to do?

Okay Pierre, I got the Thumb.db and the XnView.db. Where shall I put them?

I guess I have to put the .db files from the old computer to the same location in the new computer. There e are alrleady two .db files. Do I have to leave those there too?

Okay Pierre, Now I see how it works, quite easy (once you know it..

By the way, is there any manual of XnViewMP? I only found a very short introduction for beginners.
